I see it on tv watch it everyday
Men with no conscience dont care who they slay
Children killing children for insult or greed
Dont want what they have dont know what they need
Shot for a dollar or the color of your car
You try to find justice you wont get far
Too many families living on the street
Too many babies with nothing to eat
To clear the land they build a wall of fire
To get their way they use a gun for hire
Just trying to do the best I can
To live in this heartless land
So many people doing without
They have no power no political clout
Cutting down the forest, killing off the seas
Dont look to the future they just do what they please
Chorus repeat
We got to stand up find another way
To solve these problems it gets worse every day
Hand in hand as hard as it seems
We can save ourselves and our childrens dreams
Chorus repeat
Im trying to live we got to learn to forgive
Im doing my best - dont you know - to live in this heartless land
